Memoires

In 1957, danish artist, Asger and French artist and theorist, Guy Debord collaborated to design Memoires, which brought together the techniques of Derive and Detournement. Derive is described by Debord as "a mode of experimental behavior linked to the conditions of urban society: a technique of rapid passage through varied ambiances." 

The book is made up of fragments taken from books, magazines, newspapers, photographs, advertisements, cartoons, comics and more.

The mood of the book, suggests the way the situationists would travel through the city, encapsulating their thoughts and presenting them in a new environment.
